"I never lose. Not really."

Days off are great!
Especially when you can watch a great film.
This afternoon I watched Jean-Pierre Melville's "Le Samouraï," starring Alain Delon as the ULTRA-COOL hit man, Jef Costello.
The film masterfully combines French existentialism with film-noir gangsterism.
Delon is the epitome of cool, while Guadaloupe-born Cathy Rosier provides an ice-cold exoticism.
I could watch this 1967 film over and over. Although there is very little dialog, I glean additional insight every time I see it.
